Somerset Township, Michigan
1956 GMC/American
500/1000/50' Aerial

This certainly falls into the category of one that you don't see every day.  A White tilt-cab was mounted on a GMC chassis and the pump is rear-mounted!  American built many quints in the 1950's using Memco aerials.  Bloomfield Village, Michigan was the original owner of this unit.
